6. DELFINA
Thanks to its perfect Italian fare made with the freshest local ingredients, it has been
hard to get a table at Delfina for years now, which is saying a lot in a city that has
trendy restaurants opening every month. In addition to the legendary chicken and
delicate pasta dishes at Delfina, you can indulge in the best pizza outside of Italy at its
pizzeria next door.

From the folks at Nopa comes a fresh take on Mexican fare. Nopalito focuses on tra-
